Most of the blacks have been priced out of San Francisco and moved to Oakland. But there’s a lot of nasty people in SF of all colors. It used to be such a beautiful city.

It’s time to have that open and honest conversation about race in America that Holder admonished us for.

“””Black people received 111 of those citations, nearly 50 percent, but account for about 15 percent of the area’s residents.”””


I know this is hard for the leftist media to believe, but it just simply could be possible that black people jaywalk more than other ethnic groups.

Is it because they are targeted, or because they break the law more often than other races? Actually, one feeds off the other. Since they are known to be more frequent violators, they may be watched a bit more closely.

These libs would have let Michael Brown (aka the “gentle giant”) off with a warning instead of jaywalking for walking down the middle of the street just after a strong-arm robbery.

Of course he was instead confronted, and the rest is history (rise of BLM).

During the Obama administration it was decided that too many minority children were being suspended for misbehavior, sometimes violent. So some school districts developed a system that allowed these kids to do whatever they felt like doing, and provided them some counseling. Needless to say, some teachers had to quit or transfer out as they couldn’t teach under those circumstances, and sometimes they feared for their safety.

Lol! I jaywalk every morning to get to my car parked in the shade across the street. Spending the day writing jaywalking tickets is akin to dereliction of duty.

I wonder how many children were raped while these cops were writing tickets so the city could make its exec bonuses.

The Derbyshire Rule #9:

(9) A small cohort of blacks—in my experience, around five percent—is ferociously hostile to whites and will go to great lengths to inconvenience or harm us. A much larger cohort of blacks—around half—will go along passively if the five percent take leadership in some event. They will do this out of racial solidarity, the natural willingness of most human beings to be led, and a vague feeling that whites have it coming.

I can usually spot that head-on stare-down stride heading my way ... expecting that I have to move aside even though I’m walking on the right and he’s moving toward me in “my” lane either on the street or on the stairs.

So when I see that coming I stop in my tracks to look at my watch, check my phone, or pretend that I’m suffering an uncontrollable sneeze (last one more credible on stairs). That always gets them moving back to their lane, as any push up against me while I’m standing in place, thankfully, remains to be a line that most won’t cross.

Rio Linda is basically the old neighborhood for the former McClellan Air Force Base which closed.

it was always a little scummy but now because of the base closure it’s much much more scummy.

A guy from Rio Linda who used to call and bug Rush was a guy who each and every time wanted to discuss the topic of water fluoridation.

he eventually established his reputation as a total kook.

Getting fined for no seat belt is another bogus fine.

I call that "The Look". It says I'd kill you if I thought I could get away with it. As opposed to the high school aged white kids who do the similar slow-walk, but with a smirk instead.

Well I got to say that in a small city I once lived...that had been taken over by drug gangs and the like....that’s exactly how they got them to move back to Philadelphia.

Their attorneys were getting them off for technicalities so it was a cycle. The “new” Mayor was then installed and hired a lot more officers with the plan to ticket everyone for the least infraction of any law. To bombard them with traffic loitering, jaywalking, loud music,...just everything.....their Attorneys were getting called ‘all the time’ and finally they got tired of spending there time in court and paying the fines......

It worked...they cleared the city out of this dirt by those measures.

The "pimp roll" was coined by author Tom Wolfe. Here is an excerpt from "Bonfire of the Vanities":

“He had the same pumping swagger that practically every young defendant in the Bronx affected, the Pimp Roll. Such stupid self-destructive macho egos, thought Kramer. They never failed to show up with the black jackets and the sneakers and the Pimp Roll..."

As one who spends a lot of time in NYC, I know exactly of what he speaks. A lot of white kids do this too, by the way.

The travails of historic “racism” race-card politics bucking up against the inevitability of Reconquista politics coupled with a dire need of revenue enhancement.

Sorry, the race card expired on 1/20/09 and is non-renewable.

Walking in the middle of the street is a way to avoid security cameras.

Rofl, obviously you didn’t bother to look at the article.

There were 233 jaywalking tickets issued in that district in ONE YEAR. Fewer than one per day.

No one was spending all their days writing jaywalking tickets.

“””Black people received 111 of those citations, nearly 50 percent, but account for about 15 percent of the area’s residents. The equivalent of 12 citations were issued to every 1,000 black residents in District 2 last year, more than 5 times the issuance rate for non-blacks, city and census figures show.”””


Other statistics the District 2 council-critter ignores are how many murders, rapes, theft, or drug dealing in the greater Sacramento area were committed by the blacks living
in District 2.
